Members of the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority Board have endorsed a proposed framework for action to help tackle the impact of climate change through the Combined Authority’s own work.
The Combined Authority’s Board also acknowledged the formation of a Climate Working Group, which brings together representatives from a wide section of society and business to provide leadership in implementing the wider elements of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Independent Commission on Climate initial recommendations.
It asked that the Climate Working Group prepare a more ambitious, comprehensive and public-friendly Action Plan, setting out how the Combined Authority and the partners on the group will take action to implement the Independent Commission’s initial recommendations by 28 February 2022, for subsequent consideration by the Board on 30 March 2022.
This will ensure Climate Change is a key consideration for the Combined Authority when making decisions around procurement and delivery of its projects.
